Apple Daily Editor Ryan Law and CEO Cheung Kim-hung were charged under the national security act. They were denied bail on Saturday. They are among the 5 employees of Apple Daily, who were arrested. They will appear in court next on August 13.
The pair are accused of colluding with Apple Daily owner and staunch Beijing critic Jimmy Lai between July 1 2020 and April 3 April 2021 to request a foreign country, person or organisation “to impose sanctions or blockade or engage in other hostile activities against the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or the People’s Republic of China,” according to a charge sheet.
